Spring is a season when you want to try something new. It's fun to walk around the city, but I want to deepen my knowledge a little ... I went to visit the Tokyo Stock Exchange!
While loving the cherry blossoms of "Sakura-dori St." running on the south side of Maruzen and Takashimaya ...
This is the main entrance. It's a magnificent building. (The entrance to the tour is opposite)
We received a brief leaflet and started the tour immediately. Take the escalator to the 2nd floor.
It was the market center that jumped into my eyes. A circular electronic bulletin board called a "chicker" has a familiar company name around. This is this! I wanted to see this! It seems that the rotation speed is faster than I expected ... If you look at it all the time, you will turn around.
You can also get off at another escalator and get closer to the market center. Everybody, I'm working very hard. I don't care about my gaze (laughs).
In the past, there was a witness place here, and people were rushing their hands ... young people today don't know such a sight!
In the mid-1990s, when the systemization progressed and the number of people was decreasing in the witness area (quoted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange hp). After this, the session was closed on April 30, 1999.
